Ismael Cruz Córdova Nude

Tall, dark, and handsome is not just a cliché, it’s the very physical description of Ismael Cruz Cordova. Born in Aguas Buenas, Puerto Rico, he started acting at the age of 15 doing local commercials, TV, and film. He went full speed ahead toward a professional acting career when he moved to New York City and studied at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. He nabbed the recurring role of Jimmy Patrick in the primetime series The Good Wife in 2011, and starred as Manny in Dean Stockwell’s In the Blood (2014) on the big screen. Think you’ve seen Ismael, but can only come up with visions of babysitting your sister’s offspring? That’s because he played Mando in Sesame Street from 2013-2015. After that, he went in the opposite direction of family-friendly fare and took on the role of Hector Campos in Ray Donovan in 2016, where his shirtless self can be admired greatly. His next big feature was in the role of Holliday in Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk (2016), directed by Ang Lee. He played naked paramour David Rizzio in the film Mary Queen of Scots (2018) with Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie, then Rafael Torres in the Epix series Berlin Station from 2018-2019. HBO hired him on to play Fernando Alves in the mini-series The Undoing (2020) with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant, and Amazon Prime cast him as the character Arondir in the series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power in 2022. He also plays Costa in Finestkind (2024) with Tommy Lee Jones. Mr. Man thinks that’s a very apropos title. Finest, indeed.
